I’ve never been a big fan of matcha. The distinctive grassy flavor reminds me a little too much of freshly mown lawn clippings. So, when I tried Clevr Blends’ Honey Pistachio Matcha SuperLatte after it was highly recommended by a friend, it was more out of curiosity than optimistic expectation. But this blend surprised me—in the best way.
Smooth, subtly nutty, and lightly sweet, it’s easily the most enjoyable matcha I’ve tried. In fact, I liked it so much I’ve started keeping a pouch on hand for both cozy mornings and refreshing cold pick-me-ups.
Here’s my honest review, including how I like to prepare it as both hot and iced matcha lattes.
A Delicious, Indulgent-Tasting Treat
The taste of this matcha latte is surprisingly delicious. The matcha is smooth and mellow, not grassy or bitter. The honey and pistachio notes shine through, adding warmth and a slightly nutty sweetness. The added honey and milk make it even more comforting and balanced. It feels like an indulgent treat. The added superfoods and antioxidants are a bonus!
The iced version is light, smooth, and refreshing, with just the right amount of sweetness. The pistachio flavor seems to come forward more when iced, which I love, and the honey note lingers without being too sweet. It’s the kind of drink I could sip all summer long: satisfying but not heavy.
The bright green color was a bit startling at first, but it's much prettier in person than on the screen!
The Superfoods Bonus
The Honey Pistachio Matcha SuperLatte from Clevr Blends isn’t your typical matcha drink. It’s a creamy, plant-based latte mix that blends:
- Organic Japanese matcha (ceremonial grade, but without the overpowering grassy bite)
- Oat and pistachio milk powders for creaminess
- Real honey for natural sweetness
- Ashwagandha, lion’s mane, and reishi for focus and calm
- L-theanine to smooth out energy without jitters (this honey pistachio matcha latte with superfoods has 45 mg of caffeine, about half the amount you would find in a cup of coffee)
It’s dairy-free, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free, with functional ingredients that support focus, mood, and a sense of balance. And while it's definitely not keto, it's fairly low carb.
But you don't have to drink it for the superfoods benefits. You can just drink it because it's flat-out delicious!
Making Hot Honey Pistachio Matcha SuperLatte
I add 3 tablespoons of the powder to 6–8 ounces of hot water (not boiling). Then I stir in a small squirt of honey (I use monk fruit-sweetened sugar-free honey), add a splash of unsweetened macadamia or almond milk, and froth it all together until smooth and frothy.
Making Iced Honey Pistachio Matcha SuperLatte
I use an electric frother to dissolve 3 tablespoons of the powder in 4 ounces of warm water with a squirt of honey (or monk fruit honey) and a splash of unsweetened macadamia or almond milk until the mixture is very frothy. Then I pour it over a tall (16-ounce) glass filled with ice cubes.
By the way, the best frother I have ever tried is the one in these photos, the Nahida Coffee Milk Frother Wand, which is powerful, has three speeds, dedicated buttons for each speed, and holds a charge longer than any other frother my husband and I have tried.
Why I Keep Reaching for It
As someone who’s never cared for matcha, Clevr Blends Honey Pistachio Matcha SuperLatte really changed my mind. It gives me a gentle, steady lift without the crash I sometimes get from coffee. And I love that it includes adaptogens like ashwagandha and lion’s mane for added stress support and focus. It feels like a small act of self-care, easy to make, enjoyable to sip, and supportive from the inside out.
Pros & Considerations
Pros:
- Smooth, mellow matcha flavor (even for matcha skeptics!)
- Honey and pistachio notes are well-balanced and comforting
- Easy to prepare hot or iced
- Adaptogens and L-theanine support focus and calm
- Dairy-free and refined sugar-free
Considerations:
- A bit pricey per serving (but worth it for the quality)
- Some may want to add extra sweetener or milk to customize the flavor, as I do
Final Thoughts
If you’ve avoided matcha because of its grassy flavor, this SuperLatte might just change your mind. The Honey Pistachio Matcha from Clevr Blends is smooth, lightly sweet, and surprisingly crave-worthy. With its clean ingredients and nourishing benefits, it’s become a go-to in my kitchen.
Not a matcha lover? Neither was I. But this superfoods-infused Clevr Blends matcha latte made me a believer.

Margaret, I'm with you on being turned off of the Matcha because of the grassy taste. But, because you like it so much, I'm willing to give this one a try. I do need to find something nice to drink in the summer months other than coffee and iced coffee. This sounds like it just might be what I need! Thanks for your in-depth review!
ReplyDeleteGlad you found a matcha super latte that meets all good points you look for. Enjoy your new summer drink.
ReplyDeleteBased on your review, I have no doubt this would be a delicious drink! I would have a difficult time getting past the color to try it. Sadly, I have to force myself to eat green vegetables. Oddly enough, I like the taste, I just don't look at them :) Maybe I could put this drink in an opaque tumbler and enjoy it!
